The HP Pre 3 reflects on its upcoming launch

The last time we saw the HP Pre 3, the handset was lying on a table with the QWERTY keyboard exposed, with the Verizon branding on the top left of the phone. With a launch expected sometime in the first half of the year, we would expect to hear more about the model, but so far HP has been fairly quiet about the webOS flagship model. 

HP's Richard Kerris took the shot below directly from the 5MP camera that adorns the back of the HP Pre 3. If you're wondering where the reflection is coming from, it is off the head of a bass drum. And while we're sure that HP would like to bang the drum for the Pre 3, it will take much more than a picture like this to interrupt the constant attention that the Apple iPhone and Android handsets have been receiving. We would imagine that once we have a firm launch date for the device, the HP Pre 3 will get the amount of headlines that the webOS community would like to see it receive.
